Wow that’s insanely cheap, houston is robbing me man. I’m tryna transform my car but these places are charging way too much. The center mounted exhaust is prob gonna cost a leg and an arm too.

Thank you man , highly appreciate it , so I’m just gonna order part 26, and part 25 and I should be good right. Or I will need extra bolts and stuff ?

Also do you know any sites that provide legit oem parts, or did you only get parts by calling the dealerships ??

I did not order anything else aside from 25 and 26, it uses the body clips, but since you have slightly different mounting holes you'll just have to make a bracket like @FK7 Civic Pilot showed but it seems pretty straight forward if you have a drill.

Wow, highway robbery. When I got mine last November, it was relatively cheap at $66 for the diffuser and finishing cover. But the parts guys were already calling it a “ forum part” with a huge mark up coming. Sort of like what happened with the CTR rear sway bar and steering wheel.

Damn man you got a heck of a deal! I think I got mine like 1 or 2 months after the 2020's came out and it was like $120 for both pieces. I would think the dealer would still be able to get you under 200 as they can get cheap shipping since they always already have parts coming.

Also, I called 3 dealers. Luckily in Rochester they are all about 25 mins from each other, I am not sure most people have more than 1 that is worth driving to. I think one of them wanted like $150 for both, another @ $130 or so. Interested to get a quote for the same part from the same dealers today.

You can get OEM parts through sites like hondapartsguy, hondapartsnow, hondapartsnetwork, there are a whole bunch of them. They all use basically the same page, but pricing can be 10-15% different so check out a bunch!

You can also try conicelli honda parts at their online store. They got good prices as well. I usually get my stuff from them plus they have good shipping rates.

ya, I just gotta to the center mounted exhaust, skirts , front lip , but honestly I’m debating on type r or 2020 diffuser but for now I think I’m gonna go 2020 diffuser. What brand of aftermarket wheels to you suggest running btw ??

I literally just received some AVID1 AV06 in white, 18x8.5 +35. This offset will fit flush to the fender (thank you HOURS AND HOURS of research lol) and will look very nice. I have heard nothing but good things about the avid wheels. I specifically messaged people here and on IG to ask them how they've been holding up for like 8 months or more, and everyone said they were great. I even found threads on other forums where people have run them for 5 years on a single car with no issues and just sold the car so who knows they may have lasted another 5 years! I will post with longevity once I put some serious miles on them.

That’s great man, I hope it works out. Avid wheels are dope, I will keep researching but thank you!

I have a 2020 diffuser on my LX, so one should fit yours just fine. Only thing to be aware of is 4 mounting holes on the Sport diffuser won’t match the non-sport chassis at the bottom center exhaust section. Most guys run it like that without doing thing else, I made cheap support brackets out of some left over pantsuit cover, a couple of Honda push rivets, and 1/4” hardware to stiffen it up. 2nd photo is the home made supports going to the Sport diffuser mounting holes I was talking about. There’s a couple of YouTube clips with detail the installation pretty good.

Question about your exhaust since you have the LX. Did your MPG go down? I had my exhaust rerouted to the center and ever since my mpg has hit only 25.

My gas mileage has actually improved by 1.5mpg, for about 41-42mpg. That’s with about 90% freeway driving, and just cruising along at 65-70mph, trying to keep out of boost as much as possible. But even thrashing it, my mileage doesn’t get any worse than 32-33mpg. What were you getting before the exhaust conversion? 25mpg seems pretty bad, even if you just are doing city driving.
